Compare Prompt Strength

This worksheet helps students understand why prompt quality matters by comparing two AI-generated responses created from a weak prompt and a strong prompt. Through close reading, comparison, evaluation, and reflection, students analyze clarity, detail, examples, audience awareness, tone, and effectiveness to see how better prompts lead to stronger AI output.
